There is a statue to Rollo in the town park at Aalesund, Norway,
with a plaque beneath which reads:

Ganger Rolf, ancestor of William the Conqueror.

The monument was presented by the town of

Rouen on occasion of the millennial festival

commemorating the conquest of Normandy.

Leader of the vikings at the conquest was

Ganger Rolf, who is supposed to have been born

on the historic island of Giske by Aalesund.

Rollo
(3 August 2001)

Called ganger because he was too heavy for a horse and must gang [walk] on foot
